The maternal gut microbiome is a predictor of infant eczema.

A metagenomic survey of babies attending the first year of nursery detected extensive baby-to-baby microbial strain transmission, pointing to social interactions in infancy as crucial drivers of infan...

EMBL and its community are deeply saddened by the death of Peer Bork, the organisation’s Interim Director General.

Development and application of the integrated linkage disequilibrium score (iLDS) reveals both selective pressures impacting the human gut microbiome and the mechanisms by which gut bacteria adapt to ...

Nature Communications - Here, the authors present evidence that the gut microbiome alone, without changes in the host genome, can shape how animals respond to selection, identifying a bacterium and...

Nasal colonization by Staphylococcus aureus is linked with depression in a human cohort and shown in a mouse model to cause decreased serotonin and dopamine in the brain.

Microbiome sequencing measures relative rather than absolute abundances, providing no direct information about total microbial load. Normalization methods attempt to compensate, but rely on strong, of...

The human gut harbors thousands of microbial species, each exhibiting significant inter-individual genetic variability. Although many studies have ass…

Aging Cell is an open access geroscience journal addressing the biology of aging, from molecular mechanisms of aging to age-related disease.

The diversity of ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex and ESBL-Escherichia coli within patients is low and colonization with the same strain may persist for long periods. Authors utili...
